JWST’s hunt for distant galaxies keeps turning up surprisesIn its first year, the James Webb Space Telescope has found many galaxies from the early universe that are bigger, brighter and more mature than expected.

What Happened to All the Supermassive Black Holes? Astronomers Surprised by Webb DataJames Webb Space Telescope survey reveals fewer supermassive black holes than presumed. A University of Kansas survey of a swath of the cosmos using the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed active galactic nuclei — supermassive black holes that are rapidly increasing in size — are rarer than m

Rewriting the Rules of Longevity: Scientists Propose Alternative Connection Between Diet and AgingIs it possible to achieve healthy aging through eating? Yeast research points the way to securing better health in our golden years. Scientists from the Babraham Institute suggest an alternative connection between diet and aging, based on studies in yeast. Dr. Jon Houseley and his team have publish

The Search for the Super Potato – Scientists Create Potato Super PangenomeResearchers have compiled the genome sequences of almost 300 types of potatoes and their wild cousins to create crops that are more nutritious, resistant to diseases, and resilient to weather conditions. As global warming increasingly threatens the stability of food sources worldwide, researchers f

Not All Weight Loss Is Good: The Counterintuitive Finding That Could Extend Your LifespanAccording to a study led by the University of California San Diego, older women who maintained their weight after turning 60 had a greater likelihood of living to 90 or beyond, referred to as exceptional longevity. These women were 1.2 to 2 times more likely to reach this milestone compared to those

Larry's Comments, September 5th

The Early Universe Should Be Awash in Active Galaxies, but JWST Isn't Finding ThemAstronomers have found supermassive black holes in the centers of most galaxies. To get the black holes we see today, they must have been feeding in the past, packing on the mass to grow so big. But, a recent survey with JWST failed to turn up as many active galactic nuclei as astronomers expected. This just deepens the mystery. How did mature galaxies like the Milky Way get their black holes if they didn't go through this feeding period?

Opinion | The Story of Our Universe May Be Starting to UnravelIs cosmology in crisis?

New research puts age of universe at 26.7 billion years, nearly twice as old as previously believedOur universe could be twice as old as current estimates, according to a new study that challenges the dominant cosmological model and sheds new light on the so-called "impossible early galaxy problem."

Potent Substance Discovered by Scientists May Evade Antibiotic ResistanceScientists have isolated a possible new antibiotic from a strain of bacterium found in sandy soil from North Carolina.

Scientists Discover That a Southeast Asian Ginger Has Anti-Cancer PropertiesA type of ginger from Southeast Asia could serve as a possible ingredient for new anti-cancer markers. You might recognize Kencur as a fragrant spice that enhances your meals or a natural solution for digestive issues. However, scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University have discovered encouragi

New Study Reveals That Heavily Restricting Carbohydrate and Fat Consumption Could Be Shortening Your LifeA new study, published in The Journal of Nutrition, indicates that extreme eating patterns related to fats and carbohydrates could impact longevity. The research, led by Dr. Takashi Tamura from Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan, reveals that men with low carbohydrate consumptio

Study suggests single dose of psilocybin safe and effective as treatment for major depressive disorderA collaboration between 34 researchers at 18 institutions has looked into the efficacy and safety of psilocybin in patients with major depressive disorder.

New Research Shatters the Myth of Men As Hunters and Women As GatherersData from foraging societies around the world indicates that women often hunt large game skillfully. Analysis of data from dozens of foraging societies around the world demonstrates that in at least 79 percent of these groups, women partake in hunting. This challenges the prevailing notion that hun

Climate Change’s Deadly Legacy: How Rising Temperatures Fueled Ancient AggressionAn archaeological study from UC Davis suggests that there may have been competition for limited resources. Climate change in current times has created problems for humans such as wildfires and reduced growing seasons for staple crops, spilling over into economic effects. Numerous studies have both
